working on an old pc, the problem is a ps mouse is conected to a serial adapter which is conected to the serial port.
problem is when you start windows 98se it keeps saying no ps mouse connected please restart.
i have installed the new drivers for the mouse, but still will not work.
any ideas please.

Hello Nigel,
Is there a PS connection on the mobo for a mouse? (I know, seemed like a lame question but I had to ask)
Have you looked through BIOS for a way to disable PS support?
Is this something new for this machine or had it previously worked this way?
Start>Control Panel>Mouse>Hardware tab...

Good luck

hi,
will try that, problem with this pc the keyboard is an old one i have a windows keyboard, is it possible to get an adapter for it as the conetion is the old type din.
strange thing about this computer the bios would not auto-dect the hard drive. even tryed to put the settings for it no luck but when i put a different hard drive on it there was no problems.
except for the mouse.

sorry about the bad spelling

Adapters are readily available and generally pretty inexpensive....

get a serial mouse for a dollar and it worked ok, it must have been the adapter. i did check the bois, the ps\2 mouse option was disabled. many thanks for your help
